Feasibility of shrimp culture in Brunei Darussalam

Abstract

The US-ASEAN Coastal Resources Management Project Team assessed the feasibility of brackish pond aquaculture development in Brunei. More than 2000 ha are identified as high priority sites for fishfarm development. Designs of brackishwater aquaculture farms with P. monodon as the target species, are prepared, together with estimates of development costs. The pond culture systems studied considered appropriate for Brunei are earthen ponds for semi-intensive culture, concrete-lined earthen ponds and fully concreted pond walls, both for intensive culture system. Feasibility analysis consists of technical feasibility (resource feasibility, biological feasibility, environmental suitability, and manpower availability), market potential, financial analysis
